I think the switch shouldn't be on the back, front or any side is fine.
I've never had ANY gadget in 40 years with such a stupid design of rear surface, the only thing like it in style are fine alloy speaker grills that are too small. The holes are too sharp and small. Dirt magnet.
Do you work for Kobo? I'm making quite reasoned comments.

You’ve yet to make any reasonable argument for turning touch entirely off for moving through a book given what I presented to you. Instead you raged on about needing it turned off entirely because you’re unable to not caress your ereader I assume.
You’re blaming the reader for issues in the content which is about as far from reasonable as one can be. You don’t blame a glass for contaminated water being unhealthy for you, you blame the source of the water and clean it up. You’ve gone on about being a programmer so write an app which is capable of correcting the issue.
I’ve already said I don’t disagree with you about the button placement. I merely called out your foolish statement about the front of the device having anything to do with Kobos decision on where to put the button given their design history.
You keep going on about the back being a dirt magnet. Having owned a Forma which has a similar back for longer than the Libra has been out I’m saying if you experience a lot of dirt being caught there perhaps you should examine the cleanliness of your environment in which you use the Libra. It’s especially hilarious that you give them this much grief while decrying the death of infrared screens which by necessity required a screen design known to trap dirt. I’ll grant the Libra design of a non flush screen is foolish given there is no functional requirement for it to be indented. But I note that the dirt magnet imbedded screen didn’t make your list of minuses.
